$75,000 Tear
While renovating his home, David Gonzalez, found a copy of Action Comic #1 behind his wall in his home in Minnesota. An over enthused family member grabbed the comic and produced a tear that devalued the coveted comic book by $75, 000. That is one family member that will not be coming over in the weekends. "The owner, a humble and hardworking contractor, named Gonzales, has spent years tearing down old walls and putting up new ones for his home-renovation clients. He's made a habit of … more>>
Star Trek: The Next Degeneration
This is not your father's Doctor Carol Marcus. Alice Eve's underwear scene in Star Trek Into Darkness was deemed unnecessary by some critics and moviegoers. Damon Lindelof has publicly apologized for the inclusion of the gratuitous barely clothed Doctor Carol Marcus. The scene played no significant role in any of the story arcs in the movie. … more>>

Words: Theodore Roosevelt
It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in … more>>
The Roth Show: The Show Must Go On
David Lee Roth reminiscences about wrestling and the parallels to his own persona on stage. It's all about the show and the biggest show stopper on stage is perhaps David Lee Roth. He mentions wrestling greats Bruno Sammartino, Gorgeous George, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and The Undertaker. Since Van Halen's hiatus David is sharing with the world a wealth of information about himself and the industry of entertainment found in wrestling. Shawn Michaels is wrestling's answer to David Lee … more>>

Drawn Out: The Demise of Drawn
Since Drawn moved over to the Tumblr platform from Wordpress, things have not been the same in my opinion. Drawn is no more. John Martz terminated the hugely popular blog. Blogging can be an extensive labor for some. Drawn like many blogs out there can sometimes get in the way of life or a better paying jobs. Time is money. With fighting SEO positioning and overcrowding blogs, it can be daunting at times. Was the timing because of the Tumblr sale to Yahoo? Thank you for a great … more>>
Ray Manzarek Dead at 74
If Jim Morrison was the door, then Ray Manzarek was the hinge that held the door. Ray Manzarek was the true voice of the Doors. That faithful day on meeting on Venice Beach in 1965 has come full circle for the two film students that would eventually set the world afire. I was saddened to hear of Ray's passing. They took us on a Moonlight Drive. The music will never be over as long as there is a device that will churn Ray's haunting organ serenade into sweet oblivion. Let's climb through the … more>>

Happy Victoria Day
I think we should rename Victoria Day in Canada. It should be called BBQ day. After the long lines of propane refill this weekend it would would only make sense. Here are a few fun facts about Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria was only 18 when she came to the throne! She was born on the 24th May 1819. Her father died eight months after she was born. She died on 22nd January 1901, at the age of 81. She had 9 children. She married her first cousin, Prince Albert. She wore a white wedding … more>>
Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwich
My mouth is at a conflict. At one hand you have peanut butter and the other pickles. Would you eat a peanut butter and pickle sandwich? I think I have to convince my stomach first. My eyes on the other hand are debating it with my brain. My body is going to have a civil war on this sandwich debate. … more>>
Scientific 7-Minute Workout
Have a friend who is determined to battle the advancement of his gut. I thought of the Scientific 7-Minute Workout, by Gretchen Reynolds. "The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each, while, throughout, the intensity hovers at about an 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10, Mr. Jordan says. Those seven minutes should be, in a word, unpleasant. The upside is, after seven minutes, you’re done." … more>>

Chart of the Memes
I am clueless about memes, I could not be bothered. My kids keep me updated to the latest pop linguistic trends. Popular comic strip (if you want to call it that) XKCD explores the cult of the meme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. … more>>
